How to win lane as Warwick against Nautilus · 51.99% win rate over 1,533 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 is yours because Nautilus has feeble early damage and you control the wave freely. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as both of you build toward a first spike and neither can commit a full combo. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 favours you: Q reset plus Blood Hunt speed out-trades his single Dredge Line poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Levels 4-5 stay yours since your sustain and burst outpace his low tank damage in every skirmish. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Level 6 is yours because Infinite Duress suppresses through his shield and bursts him before his CC lands. |
| First item | Warwick | First item favours you — your bruiser spike beats a tank whose damage hasn't scaled yet. |
| Two+ items | Nautilus | Two-plus items swings to Nautilus: full tank HP and a four-piece CC chain let him lock you down and win late duels. |
Levels 1-2 favour you — Nautilus is a slow tank with weak early damage, so you farm freely and mark him with Blood Hunt whenever he drops low.
